Arsene Wenger gives Arsenal a five per cent chance of Champions League progress

However, despite the temptation to rotate Wenger is determined to field a strong team in the second leg at the Camp Nou.

Arsene Wenger accepted Arsenal were "95 per cent" out of the Champions League after losing 2-0 in the home leg of their round of 16 tie with Barcelona.

The impressive Lionel Messi finished a fine counter-attack started by Neymar and Luis Suarez to give Barca the lead in the 71st minute, before winning and scoring the 84th-minute penalty which leaves Arsenal on the brink of elimination.
